between two or more Bidders, the Lot so in dispute shall be im- 
mediately put up again and re-sold. 


2. The Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any bid which is 
merely a nominal or fractional advance, and therefore, in his 
judgment, likely to affect the Sale injuriously. 


3. The Purchasers to give their names and addresses, and to 
pay down a cash deposit, or the whole of the Purchase-money, if 
required, in default of which the Lot or Lots so purchased to be 
immediately put up again and re-sold.

within twenty-four hours from the conclusion of the Sale, and the 
remainder of the Purchase-money to be absolutely paid, or other- 
wise settled for to the satisfaction of the Auctioneer, on or before 
delivery; in default of which the undersigned will not hold them- 
selves responsible if the lots be lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, 
but they will be left at the sole risk of the Purchaser. 


5. While the undersigned will not hold themselves responsible 
for the correctness of the description, genuineness, or authen- 
ticity of, or any fault or defect in, any Lot, and make no War- 
ranty whatever, they will, upon receiving previous to date of 
Sale trustworthy expert opinion in writing that any Painting 
‘or other Work of Art is not what it is represented to be, use 
every effort on their part to furnish proof to the contrary; fail- 
ing in which, the object or objects in question will be sold 
subject to the declaration of the aforesaid expert, he being 
liable to the Owner or Owners thereof, for damage or injury 
occasioned thereby. 


6. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery, and inconvenience in the 
settlement of the Purchases, no Lot can, on any account, be re- 
moved during the Sale. 


7. Upon failure to comply with the above conditions, the money 
deposited in part payment shall be forfeited; all Lots uncleared 
within one day from conclusion of Sale shall be re-sold by public 
or private sale, without further notice, and the deficiency (if any) 
attending such re-sale shall be made good by the defaulter at

dition is without prejudice to the right of the Auctioneer to en- 
- force the contract made at this Sale, without such re-sale, if he

8. The undersigned are in no manner connected with the

although they will afford to purchasers every facility for em- 
ploying careful carriers and packers, they will not hold them- 
selves responsible for the acts and charges of the parties engaged 
for such services.
